Obama's Dubious Praise for Reagan

Barack Obama raised some eyebrows when he cited Ronald Reagan as an example of a political leader who "changed the trajectory of America." Though Obama now says he wasn't endorsing Reagan's policies -- only recognizing Reagan's historic importance -- the comment begs the question of what change Reagan actually wrought.

Regan was very secretive with his dealings with Iran and Iraq .
Not to mention his toleration of drug traffickers who operated under the cover of his favorite covert operations.
Reagan helped with mass slaughters in Central America, including acts of genocide in Guatemala, but none in his Administration faced any meaningful accountability for their actions.
You consider this to be Political Leadership Obama?

Iran: Americans can't attack

Iran believes that the Middle East region cannot not tolerate a new crisis under present circumstances, Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad-Ali Hosseini, said on Monday. Commenting on the possibility of any American military threat against Iran, Hosseini said, "Americans do not have the capability of doing that."
Stressing that most of the world leaders have opposed the idea of launching military action against Iran, Hosseini said, according to IRNA: "Even some of US officials have dismissed it, too."
However, he stressed, "Iran even takes into consideration weak probabilities to this end and makes necessary arrangements in this regard."

Pentagon, State Department Debunk Bush Fabrications on Iran

The charge that Tehran is using Iran's elite Quds Force to fight a proxy war in Iraq does not ring true, as even the United States' top man in Iraq, General David Petraeus, has conceded.
"This has little to do with Iraq," a senior intelligence officer told Linzer. "It's all about pushing Iran's buttons. It's purely political."
Does this make sense to anyone? What can possibly be gained by heightening tensions in the Middle East? The only possible outcome here a continuation of this endless war, too many lost lives and further devastation.

I still say that Der Fuhrer Adolph Bush is not leaving office any time soon.
War with Iran will allow him to declare Martial Law and suspend the elections.
He will use his private paid mercenary army, which is being paid for with American Taxpayer Dollars, to put down the uprising that will ensue.
Remember, he only supports the troops when their still in the womb than born and sent to die in an illegal war for power and his Oil Buddies.
Than he no longer supports them.
From womb to doom, after that screw them and their families.
God Bless.

Crocker reiterated accusations that Iran is fuelling the violence in Iraq by arming and training Shiite militias. He warned no progress could be made unless Iran changes its ways.
Iranian Ambassador Hassan Kazemi Qomi countered that Tehran was helping Iraq deal with the security situation but Iraqis were "victimized by terror and the presence of foreign forces" on their territory.

The meeting was opened by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who warned that militants from Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Iraq were fleeing and finding refuge elsewhere.
